frustrating that not a single person seemed at all interested in Mystery Box’s extremely detailed blog post about grading HDR, just question after question about dynamic range. You don’t necessarily have to be ready to grade and deliver in HDR to take an interest in the workflow. I take an interest in just about anything having to do with filmmaking. And while I’m discovering that HDR is turning out to be more expensive than I thought at first, I find it ironic that everyone is only concerned about capturing 14 stops of dynamic range but satisfied with delivering six or whatever. To me, it’s like having spent my entire life listening to harpsichord music and being introduced to the piano. just my two cents

Funny that about 36 hours ago, even without camera to test, I had mention 3 stops seemed to me too much:

Here comes this one now:

dammit. had my hopes up briefly about the dynamic range. but this is the only side by side test of dynamic range i've seen and despite matt frazer's assertion that the GH5s is 14 stops at native ISOs, I don't see much (if any) of a difference here from the GH5. highlight roll-off is certainly better, but I still think there has been a miscommunication inside Panasonic that conflated "two more usable stops" due to better noise performance, with, "two additional stops" that would raise it to 14 stops total.

not a huge loss in the grand scheme of things, i guess.

Right Zak : ) They are two different aspects of matter, of course. Apples to oranges. DR and high ISOs are not even a friendly match as we all know. It is even funny they misplace that...

We are basing this, of course off of well, I like this, and I like that. Lets see how this shakes out in reality. I would tend to agree a bit with Zak. I doubt that Panasonic has the GH5s the same DR that at EVA1 has.

Not even a shadow of it... Let's take a look on this comparative:

They are two absolute distinct cameras!

According to Kai its one stop of lowlight and zero stops of DR improvement. I have done nothing to figure out if its true and have watched zero samples so I have no clue. But if its true I have lost all interest.

But I am for everything that brings the gh4 prices down. Its at sub $500 and dropping. I dont care for the 4K since its cropped as much if not more than for example the D500. But I have always had a softspot for its HD. Could be a fun upgrade to my gm1.
